An extraanatomic bypass method alternative to the obturator bypass

Vasa. 2005 Nov;34(4):278-80. doi: 10.1024/0301-1526.34.4.278.

Abstract

Obturator bypass is the preferred method when infectious groin problems are challenging. However, this method can not be applied either in some special settings including the dissemination of the infection towards retroperitoneum and some technical difficulties in handling obturator bypass area (like fibrosis and inability to expose the obturator foramen). We present an alternative bypass method in two cases.
